95 300ZX TT PURCHASE-WHAT TO LOOK FOR
About to buy a 300zx tt stick. Having it checked out by a mobile evaluation service from the internet. Paint damage on front lower "grill" from flexing. Also scuff (rubbing) on top of air cleaner cover. Anything to point out to the eval service to check?

If your eval doesn't know the particulars of a Z32, why did you use them?
There are several areas of concern and which may lead to others, and much is mileage-oriented and whether or not a full 120K service has been done very recently, and by whom.
Basic stuff like cooling system working and intact (clutch fan is a notorious issue) and wiring/hoses/wiring connectors can be issues which should be carefully checked for corrosion. Correct spark plugs, and mods especially to boost level, and many other things come into play.
Best bet is to ensure the full 120K service is done which covers much of this as well as the asking price, if higher probably means a better overall car and less ($7.5K and less) means there are things to fix now or soon and may not be visible.
Best I can do with that lead-in
